Proposed split
I think the plot summaries for "Kill Switch" and "First Person Shooter" should be extracted into separate articles Kill Switch (The X-Files) and First Person Shooter (The X-Files), which are currently redirects to this page. By all means retain this article, with a brief summary of each episode, and a link to the separate articles. DH85868993 06:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree that the article should be split, but see no point in retaining a third article on both of them. We could add a paragraph to works of William Gibson, or expand on the existing one at William Gibson. There's nothing in this article that isn't entirely splittable into two subarticles. Individual articles are also more consistent with the other entries for The X-Files episodes. Skomorokh  incite 11:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I disagree; if anything, I think the content of this article should be merged into William Gibson -- or merge it to List of X-Files episodes with summaries and pointers in Gibson's article pointing there. I see absolutely no reason for this content to exist as a separate article, much less two separate articles. Ham Pastrami (talk) 13:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Firstly, convention - X-Files episodes are not grouped in twos, see Category:The_X-Files_episodes. Secondly, notability; each of the Gibson episodes are covered in reliable sources that establish their significance. The Gibson article is far too large to merge anything into.
